As taken out of the blue, I agree(dunno about details). It's easier to go from 
XHTML to HTML than the other way around. To exemplify Gary's XSLT, one could 
use the html output method to get HTML, if that was of interest.

Don't know if it's considering off-topic but in KDOM, serialization is handled 
by the Load-and-Save DOM API(kdenonbeta/kdom/ls).

Also, in the event of an XSLT implementation, the XHTML/HTML serializers 
should be designed to be able to be used independently(to put it in another 
way; it's economic to implement that if one has a need for sophisticated 
serialization).
